First time hearing Bo Burnham "Welcome to the Internet" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@echopryme]

That dude has more talent than should be allowed in a single person! Take a LONG look at everything he's done, because its ALL next level (and not just music)

[@nomorenoob2045]

And keep in mind that this was for a special where he made an album completely by himself in only one room

[@huntercool2232]

As someone once said.. “The Internet is the best and worst thing humanity has every created.” For example, the parents of this generation don’t understand why their kids are so absorbed in their devices because they didn’t grow up with that so therefore they don’t know how to help. They try to use the things that their parents taught them, but it doesn’t work because it’s not the same thing, it’s a completely different issue. Which leads to conflict and parents guilt tripping their kids and pointing out they’re addicted to their devices and making them feel like they’re the only people in the world with this issue. We are the very first generation with the particular problem and are the first of many more to come. *And that personally scares me.*

[@idk900millionyearsago8]

Wise words🙌

[@aternialaffsalot]

a lot of the problems of the internet can be fixed by nuking twitter

[@citizen_grub4171]

@@aternialaffsalot They really couldn't. Twitter is just a tiny, _tiny_ part of what's wrong with the internet.

[@giannicarbonara7342]

@@citizen_grub4171 Yeah, the problem with the internet, is the exact same thing that makes it so incredible. There's just so damn much, there's no way to moderate it, no way to stop the parts that are awful (grooming, for example). The thing is, this is the same thing that makes it amazing, you can find absolutely everything on it. I guarantee you this will be a problem for as long as it exists.

[@jkterjters]

@@aternialaffsalot you don’t say…

[@mattd7828]

"Apathy's a tragedy , and boredom is a crime." Because if you are either of those two things, you don't need the internet... and also, the business model and algorithms are now specifically designed to keep you unapathetic and entertained, all of the time. Oh that reminds me... gotta that like button. 😉

[@SeraidenAF]

Also in a "You have everything at your fingertips how are you bored?" so feeling boredom with everything there is to experience feels bad/wrong.

[@joepegel]

Others have already explained how he made this special, so I'm just here to add another vote for "How The World Works".

[@michaeljacyna1973]

In my opinion the word "genius" generally gets overused, but I have no problem describing Bo Burnham as a modern creative and comedy genius. I hope you dive deeper, his material is great

[@bonnevillejones946]

It's always so refreshing to see people actually paying attention to the words other than just the comedic side of them.

[@reactivereplays5666]

Bo is amazing. He is the youngest comedian to ever have a solo stand up special on comedy central (19). He preformed live until he was 25 in which he was have panic attacks and anxiety. "Kayne Rant" was his last song before he walked off stage and out of the spotlight for 5years. Until, he came out with "Welcome to the Internet", as well as a few others, and "Inside"(Netflix special) last year. "Art is Dead", "God's Perspective", "Repeat stuff", "Words Words Words" are all older. You have a lot of videos you could make with Bo Burnham's work. I'm here for it.

[@thanossnap4170]

Bo is a genius! I have followed him for a long time, and he has been severely slept on for so long. When his specials started coming out on Netflix, i was so happy! Finally he was getting was he was long due deserved. Now with "Inside", he finally could make his masterpiece.

[@DetroitNickel]

I search for new bo burnham reactions almost every single day. I'm really excited for you to dig into him! You're going to LOVE his content!

[@direnova6284]

Bo is super bright, his art works on many levels.

[@pietersbart]

This is such a brilliant relatable song and he touches on it all and it is all in ‘their’ evil plan. Remember apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime! He has other songs you might like such as ‘White woman’s instagram’ and ‘God’s perspective’.

[@freyjana]

He is the villain selling us the moral corruption of human kind. 😅

[@melissakennedy1506]

Bo started on KZbin when he was like, 16, I think. My daughter is a millennial, and has been watching him since back in the day. It’s interesting to see how he has grown. He turned 30 while filming this. You should explore his work. I truly believe that time will show him as the voice of the millennial generation.

[@thegamingwubba]

Bro I was literally just binging a ton of youtubers reactions to this, and ON THE DAY you guys release. Timing of GODS

[@Jesstryfox]

Great reaction!! I would recommend more from this special it’s truly brilliant ✨

[@DirtyWeeb]

This is the first Bo Burnham song they've ever heard... just started the video and I'm already scared for their souls. Update: They reacted better than expected.

[@justmejoy124]

I like the musicality as well at the end & when he laughs and the pace of the music picks up to it's fastest , the sound is almost cartoonist which compared to real life on the internet. It's almost as if it's like a cartoon fantasy wise. A picture drawn to make up a fake reality somewhat

[@terrathunderstorms3701]

You guys are like the good parents that reason through content before showing it to their kids and I love it.

[@gdogsgdogsgdogs]

First time hearing him? Well you’re about to get the Bo Burnham bumb! We love watching new people react to Bo. Listen to “All eyes on me” by Bo Burnham. He’s got a lot amazing content to react to. We want to watch y’all react to more Bo plz!

[@reneebush2399]

They should do “Can’t handle this” Kanye Rant and “All eyes on me” back to back for sure.

[@HobGungan]

I love how this is basically The Internet's Villain Song.

[@yashvgupta]

Just subscribed, keep going down the Bo Burnham rabbit hole! It only gets better! And darker. 😅

[@coreyhirsch9691]

He's one of the OG's of KZbin. Follow the rabbit hole.

[@Hey_Jamie]

The reason the music sped up and got more ‘wacky’ is because this song is from the perspective of a snake oil salesman. He draws you in with a quirky, fun tune and tells you about this ‘cool new thing!’ (The Internet) to draw you in and as you’re more drawn in, he throws in weird things about it slowly almost so you don’t realize it until he’s _only_ saying the weird and awful things you’ll find on the Internet and before you realize he’s done that, he stops and slows it down, and draws you back in again by telling you that YOU are what the Internet needs. The Internet can’t exist without you! And by then, hypothetically you’re already hooked. That’s when the evil laugh comes out because he knows he’s got you. He’s so brilliant.

[@Chris_T_S]

Saw this, and my first thought - ok, here we go, what will be your spin on this satirical warning Loved your reaction

[@nickschaffer4706]

There is no other like Bo he has been ahead of his time and his been on youtube since it started, he will make you laugh,cry and think about life! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE React to more Bo Burnham you will not regret it!

[@ricardinho1484]

I’ve listened to this sooo many times I’ve virtually studied it, I was really impressed to see how much u guys picked up on the first listen.. 🐐

[@sundaygloom8715]

Yeah, he's pretty good, I didn't care for his stuff the first time I heard it but it grew on me, now I enjoy his stuff. Dude is talented.

[@mattjohn4731]

Same here. His vocal style is like uber-white square parody. Like Tom Lehrer in the 50's

[@Charsept]

Clever man, I love me some Bo Burnham Almost always a deeper meaning in his works. Cerebral comedy in a way.

[@sample.text.]

Y'all are in for a ride if you do more Bo... He is one of those rare geniuses that don't come around too often. I'm sure others have recommended what to watch in the comments, so if you like this just keep going. He's one of the KZbin OGs so he has tons of content out there.

[@joshd2013]

As someone said on the original video it's amazing how much those glasses tie the song together

[@draset8445]

"ALL of THE TIME"

[@Fightingforthelost]

One thing to note when he slows it own and talks about the internet in the late 90s - it mirrors not just the difference in content, but also the difference in speed. Dial-up was the primary option, websites took longer to load, KZbin didn't exist, it took hours to download a 30 second video clip. Meanwhile, the beginning of the song was just a never ending barrage of content, which is much more similar to how it feels to be on the internet, now.

[@bethanythatsme]

No wonder I'm so constantly confused.... I'm 43...half of my life was what you see is what you get & then the internet came. Don't know if that shock can be articulated.

[@MrRagston]

"Watchable" "Inside's out" is talking about you guys, doing what you can to have us watch you. You are watchable. And your showing us, strangers, your personalities, in ways you wouldn't in real life. Your insides are out, for youtube, so that you can be watchable.

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

His character reminds me of a drug pusher. He emphasizes the way the Internet shapes the young and eats your life if you let it. Shocking, brilliant, true.

[@motleyh9427]

He’s talking to Gen Z. He’s a legend to them. I’m 51 and I was introduced to his material a month ago by my kid. He’s brilliant.

[@vongduong2853]

this special is made all by himself (took him a year) so I hope you can watch the other songs in the special (inside) and other songs too

[@amberfuchs398]

I love seeing people discover Bo Burnham's work. Please keep doing videos on his content! Enjoy!

[@Tyndaal604]

He’s so much of a genius he tells you his intentions as the internet in a slow, sinister tone and then immediately switches back to the upbeat carnival tune and has you nodding your head again. Apathy is a tragedy, 0 concern. 😂

[@derekfarkas5538]

Never seen this channel, but look at her face when Bo does what he does. She is entranced. Consumed.

[@MeganTheLibrarian3]

Welcome to the Bo Burnham rabbit hole! Hope you decide to react to more of his stuff!

[@randallforrest7683]

This guy is talented and funny!

[@speakerboxxers3618]

The craziest part about “inside” is this is Nancy’s house from a nightmare on elm street

[@scratch-agunner]

2:15 im not even gonna say "You're welcome" you just need it

[@zaktilzer5130]

You 2 are the some of the best reactors. Especially as a couple. You both respect each other and are very open minded.

[@bethanythatsme]

The chemistry between y'all makes me smile 🖤

[@jaymegoldie6639]

This reaction was so refreshing. I could feel you thinking about the messages. Desensitization is a huge problem. People cannot focus on real issues if they’re bombarded with craziness all of the time.

[@lightsoutisay]

This is your first Bo Burnham video? I'm very excited to see you react to more of him if you want to! Recommendations: "Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant)", "Left Brain, Right Brain" , "From God's Perspective" :)

[@mikelee8937]

Bo's been around a while, but actually had a breakdown 5+ years ago on stage. When mental health awareness among youtubers was all the rage, it was his burnout that brought it all to bear. Need to look up his words words words, pretty hilarious.

[@chrisw3421]

He has the best country music song ever!!

[@IAmTheJellyBeanRock]

Wow you react without constantly stopping the video? WOW THAT IS TALENT

[@MilanDeek]

i think you guys would also like "That funny feeling" by him as well. Great video per usual from u guys

[@jenniferkamigaki-sander5981]

Bo is/was arguably one of the very first KZbinr’s ever. He was posting on KZbin before it was purchased by Google. He’s brilliant.

[@williameleno]

As a big fan of your movie reactions, I very much enjoyed this reaction. I remember when I first heard this song, I was genuinely terrified because of how true it is. Perhaps one day you guys would consider doing a reaction to his one of his first comedy performance specials called "What?". However even just individual songs are good and Repeat stuff w/ music video always makes for a great reaction. Anyways keep up the quality content.

[@jamesminter70]

I like that you guys are knowledgeable about the past. Good reaction

[@dr.manhattan7313]

the internet can be very enlightening or very very dark. just depends where you go.....

[@UPYOUREYEBALL]

You should check out some of his old stand up stuff. He is hilarious!

[@TheFlowingFist]

Her face at the beginning was priceless! More Bo Burnham please!

[@breadboy9714]

You should check out more bo, he did his entire inside special in one room by himself. He is insanely talented

[@meghanhallen525]

he is a legend of KZbin do bo can't handle this(Kanye rant)

[@Kelsieelizabeth]

Yes please do more Bo Burnham! He actually has songs from up to like 14 years ago because that was when he originally blew up. He is actually kind of a OG youtuber. Would love to see you guys do more

[@joeyduvall1367]

The Internet was barely two years old when the ipad connected and now look at it

[@TheLwaller09]

Congratulations, you just found one of the best, if not the best, comic/performer of our generation.

[@stevenl.9737]

More Bo please! He has loads of popular songs on his older specials.

[@antman149]

Great choice, let’s get his Kanye rant in there

[@brijit9913]

It reminds me of the Indiana Jones movie when the one dude wanted to know everything so the alien gave him all information about everything and anything and his head blew up. The internet can make you happy but also make you need to see a shrink :D

[@EvertheHumanist]

This song is an indictment of what you are doing here. It is also an indictment of what he is doing, and one of what I am doing, now. Boo, BOOOOO... All Of Us. Love this song, love your reaction.

[@xxcampheroxx]

The snowball effect the song has is fucking art at its finest.

[@tom7471]

Bo is a comedic genius with often a dark bend to his work. The truth is the Internet is what it is because it is what humans desire. It fulfills the desires of its viewers, some of them incredibly off-centered! We can look at our reflections on screen in so many ways!

[@papamaniac2410]

Take a look at his "Green Room with Paul Provenza" special. He has a few very famous comedians watching him and they are in awe.

[@therealtorsteph22]

He is dark, light, twisted and straight. He truly is genius....do more!!! Love the content ❤️

[@DarrenThomas1]

“All Eyes On Me” is an incredible song from the show that this song is from. A great beat on it too.

[@ericm9029]

This entire special is a giant truth bomb.

[@rosshunter9792]

The first bit is everything YOU can do on the internet. The middle bit is pointing out that you’ve already been groomed to be addicted to do it

[@mjblake1975]

Love ur channel.. Please do 'All Eyes On Me'

[@comfortableslug6570]

Will you do more of his songs from the Netflix special Inside?

[@lashedsuns4529]

Starting at 4:20, Asia didn't move or change facial expressions. If it weren't for Bj, I would've thunk the video was buffering xD

[@koin_moon]

His laugh is something incredible 🔥

[@MasterJohnMoss]

One of my favourite songs of 2021. And as someone else mentioned, 'White Women's Instagram' is also great.

[@glacieractivity]

I have followed you two for a few years as a Norwegian (though I subbed you right now in real-time). Your fellow Bo across the pond - oh you know him well. To the point that this white dude in Norway can predict that Bo Burnham will make you tear up with laughter (he will parody you doing reaction videos) and with emotions (he will ponder the pressure of being entertaining while trying to share something of himself- also on stage). I know you as a job are "reactors" - so you can never see a comedy special - like you can never experience a full album because your job is to comment on a scene in a movie (or an episode of a series or a snippet of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" - you can never experience an entire piece of art as reactors. That is your job. But I hope you will watch a full show at some time in the future. Because that can be like reading a whole book from start to end - instead of responding to a paragraph in the middle as "entertainment" I know you know what I mean. All the reactors on the planet have already reacted to the end of Bo Burnam saying "I hope you are happy" in the finale of Happy.

[@icepick1514]

This entire special is plain fucking brilliant. "White woman's instagram" is so damn funny.

[@suvijii841]

Oh you REALLY have to react to "How the world works" by Bo Burnham!!!!

[@CoryPuffett]

You should check out How the World Works by Bo Burnham. It's from the same special.

[@KwisatzHaderach77]

Man he be hitting that ish too hard and get ta wandering every whim of every thought and then tryin like quiz you along the way!

[@Neoentrophy]

We weren't ready for the internet, we never will be

[@cherryhearts592]

Bo Burnham how the world works. Trust me... It's great watch it!!!!!!!

[@beekind14]

Since you've reacted to so many country songs, you should definitely check out Bo Burnham "Country Song"!

[@roxee57]

The internet makes you think apathy is a tragedy and so you should express an opinion or get outraged about everything, all of the time, which you will because the internet has also made you think boredom is a crime.

[@LongandWeirdName]

He is right, you know. You are extremely watchable.

[@thesevendeadlysins578]

Please more Bo, he's amazing!

[@MatterShim]

You kinda missed the point with this one. He was saying you can find anything and everything all the time, but he didn't mean it as a good thing. He said "Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime" because you're no longer allowed to be bored and sit alone in your thoughts anymore, because if you are, you'll just stare at the internet and flood your brain with all these random useless pieces of content that distract you from thinking. It was always the plan... to put the world in your hand... cue evil laughing

[@mattjohn4731]

Bo clownin'

[@motiv8andmedit838]
